General description

Virtually all lymphoid and myeloid cells in bone marrow are reactive with the anti-VLA-4 antibody. VLA-4 is absent or minimally detectable on stromal cells. Myeloid cells maintained in Dexter-type long-term cultures of murine bone marrow are positive, as are lymphoid cells from Whitlock-White cultures.

Specificity

Clone PS/2 recognises the murine alpha4 chain of the VLA-4 integrin heterodimer, 150 kDa. The antibody also reacts with human VLA-4.
Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.

Application

Anti-Integrin α4 Antibody, clone PS/2 detects level of Integrin α4 & has been published & validated for use in FC, IF, IP, IH.
Flow cytometry: 2 μg per 106 cells

Immunohistochemistry on frozen tissue sections

Immunoprecipitation

Cell adhesion assays

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

CD4(+) T helper (Th1 and Th2) cell localization to a site of inflammation is important for the development, maintenance and regulation of an immune response. The factors that regulate Th1 and Th2 cell recruitment into tissue are not fully understood.

Adhesive properties of leukemia cells shape the degree of organ infiltration and the extent of leukocytosis. CD44 and the integrin VLA-4, a CD49d/CD29 heterodimer, are important factors of progenitor cell adhesion in bone marrow (BM). Here, we report their cooperation

Myeloid cells play key roles in cancer immune suppression and tumor progression. In response to tumor derived factors, circulating monocytes and granulocytes extravasate into the tumor parenchyma where they stimulate angiogenesis, immune suppression and tumor progression.
